    Admits? Acknowledging that destroying capitalism is key to addressing the climate catastrophe is like admitting the sky is blue (or orange and smoky, as the case may be).

    I’m used to everything pro-Ukraine on this instance being downvoted to hell. Everyone who supports Russia is being downvoted instead. What is going on?

            No, actually.

            1. He is holding political prisoners (Kononovyč brothers)
            2. He has banned multiple opposition parties
            3. He is continuing the Majdanite ban on the KPU and communist symbols.
            4. He suspended elections “until the war is over” and also stated “the war won’t be over until he takes Krym” Krym is rather deep in Russia’s territory by now and Zelenśkyj has trouble with Donbass let alone Krym. This boils down to “Zelenśkyj suspended elections indefinitely.” The Majdan regime is a literal fascist regime, attacking Russians and communists. (I’m not saying to support Russia either, although a lot of people on LG would say to support Russia)

                  I’m not arguing, I’m just honestly asking questions. Why is NATO imperialistic? From my perspective, they are trying to help an independent country defend itself from people who are trying to take it from them by force.

              ad 1: You already know what would happen to Ukrainian spies in Russia. They can thank their lucky stars for still being alive and held in a country with actual morals. ad 2: You already know what would’ve happened to pro-Ukrainian parties in Russia long before 2014. ad 3: All the while Putler is trying to take his country back to that “romantic” era. Seems to me like what’s good for Putler can’t possibly be good for his sworn enemies. ad 4: That’s how fucking martial law works.

              Seriously what do you expect national policy to look like when you’re being invaded? Just let others spy on you, meddle with your national politics in parliament, weaken your resolve? When war starts shit gets fucking real really fucking quick. Putler has declared Ukrainians sub-humans, inferior to the “actual Russian/Slav”, he is abducting their children. This is genocide and it’s just mindboggling how people in actual free countries manage to twist the narrative into such directions like “Ukraine should just sue for a ceasefire”.

              Especially you with your Black-Red-and-Gold profile picture should know how well suing for peace worked with Hitler. Dictators just take what they can until they are dictators no more. Putin will take whatever he possibly can for as long as there is still a breath left in his body. He will rebuild his military, no matter how long it takes, he will model Russia’s economy after North Korea’s and you already know he absolutely will be back for more of the same.

              If their communists are anything like the swedish ones they are just “tankies”. They’ll love russia and china with the reasoning that they are “not usa” and therefore automatically good. This has been a huge issue for the european “far”-left for ages.

              Most of what you listed is just attributably to being at war. Elections are impossible to hold during war and the crimea-thing is just posturing at this point which mean very little.

                Since I am a Swedish communist and know plenty of them, I feel it might fall on me to say that you are just being ignorant and judgmental. There has been a fair share of naivety in the ranks of the left wing parties in Sweden, but that was much more notable during the 1970’s than it is today. I don’t know any communist or socialist in Sweden that argues in such simplistic terms like “not USA is automatically good”, that’s just an insane claim to make. And while we’re at it, most of the western world seem to agree that “not-Russia is automatically good” with all the head-in-the-sand shit the west is pulling over Ukraine. I believe you are touting prejudice against communists, like so many before you have done. It doesn’t do anyone any good.

                Historically, no.

                and the crimea-thing is just posturing at this point which mean very little.

                You should go in the middle of Kiev and shout this. Pretty soon, some armed thugs will pull up, strip you, beat you up, throw green paint on you then tie you on a street lamp and piss on you. It’s not posturing.

                Yes it’s such an issue for the European left to have people with principles, who are right all the time and can think beyond elections to enact change.

                Don’t make me laugh, social Democrats would sooner vote with the far right to prevent the actual left from winning elections.

    What can I say. Seems like a clever girl with internally consistent views if she got there from ecology. Who knows, maybe she’ll even stop supporting Ukraine at some point!

    If she isn’t a media project.

          She just supported people that blown up Nordstream, Kakhovka dam (and a lot of other things), shelled nuclear plant, started and maintain that war and use depleted uranium shells. I would say that even from a strictly ecological point of view she fucked up incredibly.

            She’s supporting the Ukrainians tho.

            Are you actually saying that they did all this to themselves? That’s what the Russian state has been saying without credible proof.

            Edit: I’d like to see where you got your info.

              You’re right, it makes much more sense that Russia would destroy their own pipeline which took 10 years to build so that Europe would buy US gas instead. And it makes perfect sense that Russia would destroy a dam they control and flood the defenses they had spent a whole year building, especially considering the Ukrainian counter offensive didn’t pan out and most of their soldiers died before ever seeing the fortifications.

              There’s no proof of that either, but as a good citizen, I believe everything my government tells me. They have my own personal best interests at heart, after all. Especially when they turn away refugees and let them drown in the Mediterranean, I don’t know how but I’m sure it protects me.

                Maybe they did the pipeline, but none of that other stuff.

                Either way you haven’t actually showed me where you got any of this info.

                  I used my brain, which unfortunately seems to be becoming a rarer resource.

                  Where’s your evidence for saying Russia blew up the dam they controlled?

    It sucks that Greta gets so much attention. The right uses her as a kind of straw man of climate change. She’s so dislikable.

    as far as I can tell she’s firmly ensconced in the shitlib territory… she speaks out of both sides of her mouth so easily as they’re wont to do
